qosNote to Self:
Do not believe anything - even personal revelation - that you have not brought into your practice.
Do not believe anything - even sacred text - that you have not brought into your practice.
Practice changes us. Practice gives us context. Practice moves us and moves through us. Practice makes space, acting as a container for the blinding light and umbrous shadow.
Do not believe until you have swallowed the truth whole, digested it, and let it seep through your pores. Do not believe until the truth affects the way you walk, talk, sit, laugh, and dance. Do not believe until the truth has shattered and rebuilt your heart and resurfaced the landscape of your mind and soul.
Until that happens, hold a spot of reservation. Set forth a time of testing. Continue to ask questions. Sink into your practice...
By the time belief arrives, it should feel a lot like Knowledge.
